Configure Optimize databases in Helm chart

Use this section to configure Optimize's database connection in Helm deployments.

Optimize supports Elasticsearch or OpenSearch only. It does not support RDBMS.

• Use external Elasticsearch for Optimize with Helm
• Use external OpenSearch for Optimize with Helm

Shared Elasticsearch and OpenSearch tasks:

• Configure custom HTTP headers for database clients
• Configure Elasticsearch and OpenSearch index prefixes
